GBR


A couple of thousand years ago (2004) we put together a cycling squad to get into the Guinness Book of World Records. The goal was to ride longer than anybody over a 24 hour period. We used the CompuTrainer, natch, in ergo mode and each of the six riders went four hours as far and as hard as they could. IIRC we did almost 800 miles, thereby setting the new global standard. We even drank Martinlli's cider after the event. Sully, our female rider is shown here on the cover of a CD spin compilation I put together commemorating the event for Sully's birthday. Or more precisely because she lost all her iTunes making a data transfer and asked if I could burn one or two for her. The sweaty mugs of Glenn, Chris, Jim and myself who also rode that day only distracted from the jacket aesthetics and hence were axed, sorry guys. As a side note, our Junior rider that day was Keil Reijnen who is now riding for the Jelly Belly pro racing team. http://www.velobios.com/riders.jellybelly2009.reijnen.htm
